The 1933 National Football League
Championship game was held on December 17, 1933 at Wrigley Field in Chicago. The attendance was
estimated at 26,000. This was the first scheduled championship game
since the NFL's founding in 1920. The game pitted the champions of
the NFL's two divisions against each other: The champions of the
Western Division, the Chicago Bears (10-2-1); and the champions
of the Eastern Division, the New York Giants (11-3). The Bears
scored the winning touchdown with less than a minute to go in the
4th quarter, capping a 23-21 victory. It was the Bears' second
consecutive and third overall NFL title under George Halas.

1 – From 1966 to 1969, the first four Super Bowls were
"World Championship" games played between two independent
professional football leagues, AFL and NFL, and when the league
merged in 1970 the Super Bowl became the NFL Championship
Game.
2 – Dates in the list denote the season, not the calendar year in
which the championship game was played. For instance, Super Bowl
XLI was played in 2007, but was the championship for the 2006
season.
